One sys admin jobs, work from home ideas

I'm currently looking for extra work, I have used a few Virtual Private Servers before, one thing I noticed about 13 months ago (whn I have requested some small time tech support) the techs logging in have been from enumerous other countries, sometimes even going in via residential lines). It just dawned on me do companies like godaddy or other popular companies use offsite techs to help with work loads?

I mean I would really like to kind of work on my own but take up jobs like tech support like that, just to make some entry way into sys admin work really, fancy that as my next career move, but don't want to have to travel.
